I’m in love with this spacious photography museum! Really nice curation and worth spending some time there to immerse yourself in another world:)

The William Klein exhibit is amazing. And the DJ on Thu nights really sets a cool vibe! Love this place

The best photography museum in New York City if not the world, ICP always has great exhibitions such as the current "William Klein: YES" show. I will also always remember the legendary "Capa in color" exhibition. The new exhibition spaces on Essex Street on the Lower East Side are great.

This is my first visit to the lower East side location of the ICP. We went for the William Klein exhibit which was fascinating and beautifully presented. I’m a photography fan and I have been to the ICPs original location on upper fifth Avenue and their next location in Midtown, prior to moving to the lower east side. You can reserve tickets for Thursday evenings, no charge but there is an optional donation requested. There is a small gift shop with some lovely items and a small café near the admission area.

Beautiful space. Love how the current exhibition of “William Klein” was curated. The spots lights was hitting some prints too bright but it’s all good. Overall a beautiful artistic experience from a street photographer. Need to go back to see this show again.

The Photographer’s gallery in London is sooo much better. Exhibition was minimalist, so little for such a large space. I was in and out in 20 minutes.
Lifeless. Disappointed.

Lost a whole afternoon and the chance of visiting other museums because you do not comunicate properly about closing times due change of collections. Crossed here from a completeley different island for nothing! Your PR person should get booted.

30-60 minute max time to see beautiful photographs. I went on a Friday afternoon and there were only a half dozen people there. If you don't like crowds or want to go somewhere different, try IPC

Roomy gallery with great, contemporary exhibits. Everyone from the front desk to the security were all really kind. I’m glad I went!

Student tickets cost $12 and the exhibitions were located in the second and the third floor. Great selection of works. I really enjoyed the exhibition. I wished that it was bigger considering we payed $12 for half an hour or so for a student ticket.

Longer opening hours, look at Fotografiska in Stocholm, Sweden - during weekdays an saturdays they/we close at 01.00. Its all about creating options, connections and possibilities.

Complete waste of time. A collection of about 80 photographs give or take, none of which qualified to be in a B grade social engineering magazine. I hope I can save you time and $16, so you can have a nice lunch, or just a nap under a tree.

Another reviewer said that this was a collection of about 80 pictures and they were right. So much potential in this space and just an absolute waste of time to visit. There are thousands of talented visual artist working in this medium and with so much to choose from I can't understand why the two exhibits they offered were so incredibly bland.

I expected to stay a couple of hours and I was out in 25 minutes. 10 of those minutes were spent wandering around and thinking I missed an exhibit wing. I did not. Much like the guy wrote above, the best thing was the visit to the Essex Market across the street.

It is a must-see in New York, if you like art museums, even though I would call it what it is and not necessarily an art museum. We loved the two main stories that were displayed when we went. They were unique in their own way. It is big a huge museum so don’t expect to be there for many hours. The customer service at the front was excellent. The employees were very polite.

Fancier name than actual content. Nice gallery but with few and not to interesting works. Some passable photographers. Not worth the 16 bucks.
